British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Khaimeh had a population of 132 Muslims,^[7] increasing in the 1931 census to 141 Muslims, in 30 houses.^[8]

In the 1945 statistics, the village had a population of 190, all Muslim,^[4] and the total land area was 5,150 dunums.^[3] Of this, 4 dunams were irrigated or used for plantations, 5,007 were used for cereals,^[9] while 9 dunams were classified as built-up urban areas.^[10]

1948 and aftermath

Morris list both date and reason for depopulation as "not known".^[2] However, he also notes it in connection with Operation An-Far, in mid July 1948.^[11][12]

Following the 1948 war, the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and in August 1948 al-Khaymas was one of 21 Palestinian villages whose land was proposed for resettlement with an Israeli village named Revadim.^[13] In November, 1948, the proposal to establish Revadim on al-Khayma's land was passed.^[14]

Revadim was eventually established close to village land, according to Morris,^[15] however, according to Khalidi, Revadim is located north of al-Khayma, on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Mukhayzin.^[16]

In 1992 the village site was described: "All that remains of the village are three mounds to the east, west, and south of the site that contain the remnants of houses. A girder protrudes from the eastern mound and there is a large, deserted well at the mounds centre. A large artificial pond lies about 100 m northeast of the site, and there is a monument next to a well about 0.5 km to the north. An inscription on the monument reads: To the eMemory of the Members of Kibbutz Revadim, who Settled on the Land in 1948."^[17]
